Student review [#80002] for Communication Design
at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences

I’m currently in my second year of Communication and Multimedia Design at NHL Stenden, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The program is very hands-on, following the Design-Based Education (DBE) approach. Right from the start, we’ve been working on real client projects, which has given me invaluable experience for the future.

The first year was definitely challenging, and at times, I wasn’t sure if the program was the right fit for me. But everything changed in the second year. Now, I’m enjoying workshops, topic-focused studios, and more engaging lectures. The program lets you explore a wide range of multimedia fields, although group work can sometimes make it hard to focus on personal growth. That’s where strong organizational skills really come in handy.

At first, I had to get used to the learning style, but now it feels like second nature. The teachers are super supportive and always available to answer questions or teach any new skills I want to develop. If you’re considering this program, my advice is to stay open to all possibilities. The first year might feel tough, but once you hit the second year, you’ll see your skills in the multimedia world really start to grow.
